Considerably more recent than Radhakrishnan is Sources of Indian Tradition, by 
Ainslie Thomas Embree, Stephen N. Hay, and William Theodore De Bary. It's in 
two volumes, one dealing with classical India and another with modern India 
and Pakistan. It would be very difficult to do justice to both classical and 
modern India in a single course, so you'd have to choose the time period and 
then pick the appropriate volume.
